Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Vinson Appraisal Services.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Vinson Appraisal Services actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a fair listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes competing homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a standard move.

But even if you've hired an experienced agent , it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Vinson Appraisal Services can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Vinson Appraisal Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we can also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you find an interested buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems

Improvements that add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and Vinson Appraisal Services can help with that. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?"
